What Does Dr. King's "Beloved Community" Look Like Today?

“The way of acquiescence leads to moral and spiritual suicide. The way of violence leads to bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers. But the way of non-violence leads to redemption and the creation of the beloved community.”– Martin Luther King, Jr., "Sermon on Gandhi," 1959

On April 4th, the 45th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Oakland’s own East Bay Meditation Center invites you to gather and explore what the dream of beloved community looks like today.

Moderated by Konda Mason and featuring musical guests Rickie Byars Beckwith and Raz Kennedy, the event is a fundraiser for the East Bay Meditation Center, a diverse community sharing wisdom teachings and social engagement for all in downtown Oakland.
